Neuropsychological assessment is a difficult and complicated
process. Often, experienced clinicians as well as trainees and
students gloss over fundamental problems or fail to consider
potential sources of error. Since formal test data on the surface
appear unambiguous and objective, they may fall into the habit of
overemphasizing tests and their scores and underemphasizing all the
factors that affect the validity, reliability, and interpretability
of test data. But interpretation is far from straightforward, and a
pragmatic application of assessment results requires attention to a
multitude of issues.
This long-awaited, updated, and greatly expanded second edition of
the "Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, " like the
first, focuses on the "clinical practice" of neuropsychology.
Orienting readers to the entire multitude of issues, it guides them
step by step through evaluation and helps them avoid common
misconceptions, mistakes, and methodological pitfalls. It is
divided into three sections: fundamental elements of the assessment
process; special issues, settings, and populations; and new
approaches and methodologies. The authors, all of whom are actively
engaged in the clinical practice of neuropsychological assessment,
as well as in teaching and research, do an outstanding job of
integrating the academic and the practical.
The "Clinician's Guide to Neuropsychological Assessment, Second
Edition" will be welcomed as a text for graduate courses but also
as an invaluable hands-on handbook for interns, postdoctoral
fellows, and experienced neuropsychologists alike. No other book
offers its combination of breadth across batteries and approaches,
depth, and practicality.
